All over the world tv-channels broadcast programmes about or even with nobles and royals. I will try to post a list here weekly, and update when I find something during the week. As it is impossible to check all channels I have listed the channels I have access to myself, and will include anything else […]

When on 27 November 2017 His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales became engaged, quite a few royalty fans turned out to be confused. Who on earth was Prince Henry? Well, Prince Harry of course. Although he is always called Harry, his official first name is Henry. When he was born his parents even officially […]

During the Christmas time many people enjoy having a Christmas tree (in German: Weihnachtsbaum) – either a real or an artificial one – in the house, me included. It is strange to imagine a house at Christmas time without a tree full of the most beautiful ornaments. But where does this tradition come from and […]

Halloween, All Saint’s Day, just the right time for a spooky post. Often royal palaces and castles are old. There are many stories going around about ghosts haunting these buildings, sometimes friendly, sometimes they are not. A palace without a moat is like a palace without a ghost. This is of course just a very […]

How often these days I see articles stating that if Prince Harry of Wales marries Meghan Markle, it will be the first royal interracial marriage ever. Obviously most articles mean, the first British royal interracial marriage – as lots of media tends to forget there are other royal families than the British – but even […]

On Saturday 14 October 2017 for the 16th (!!!) time the Royals Verzamelbeurs in Nijverdal was being held. Every year (see my report from 2014) Wilbert Slooijer and his crew do their utmost best to make it a wonderful day for sellers and buyers. If you’re not planning to buy anything, don’t go, as otherwise […]

It has been a very busy week. A royal wedding (Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Nassau and Antonius Willms), royal engagements in Württemberg (Duchess Sophie with Maximilien d’Andigné) and Japan (Princess Mako and Kei Komuro), Prince George of Cambridge’s first school day, Prince Henrik of Denmark announced suffering from dementia, and of course most royals have started […]

UPDATE 6 September 2017: The Danish Royal Court announced that Prince Henrik suffers from dementia. Most recently during the late summer a series of examinations were conducted. This might lead to changes in behaviour, reaction patterns, judgement and emotional life and may therefore also affect the interaction with the outside world, it was announced. Although […]

Ha, ha, what you all find when being busy with your folders full of (royal) pictures and videos. This video was created by a friend of mine on 13 May 2004 while we were waiting at Christiansborg, Copenhagen. We were playing with the video function of her digital camera a bit, as it was at […]

It always surprises me that when the retirement age of normal working people is being discussed, people don’t know how loud to protest when a government decides the age goes up. That happened in the Netherlands for example recently. It varies per country, but in the Netherlands where I live, for many years it was […]

Somehow I am never able to travel without coming back home with books. My bookshelves are completely full and I wouldn’t know where to put new ones anymore. But then you’re hanging around somewhere and they just have the greatest books that you absolutely must read. That happened of course when I was in and […]
